  2. m l θ A, ω Formulating the problem • Pendulum • Mass (m) • Length (l) • Oscillating Pivot • Amplitude (A) • Frequency (ω)

  3. m l θ A, ω Formulating the problem Forces Acting on the Pendulum • Gravity • Force of the pivot • [Friction]

  4. m l θ A, ω Equation of Motion • Newton’s Second Law • Linear motion: • Circular motion: • Equation of Motion

  5. m l θ Torques • Gravity: • Oscillating pivot: • Force: • Torque:

  6. m θ θ m Equation of Motion Gravity term Pivotterm For example:

  7. Physical Intuition Pivot term (dominates for large values of ω) Inertial (lab)frame Non-inertialframe (of pendulum) Butikov, Eugene. On the dynamic stabilization of an inverted pendulum. Am. J. Phys., Vol. 69, No. 7, July 2001

  8. For small values of θ: Reparameterization Reparameterize: Let: Mathieu's Equation
